Do these other systems have other things which I consider essential to 
clusters?

   generic and specific queues

   queues which will failover to another node

   cluster-alias IP address

   cluster-wide logical names

   something like SYSMAN

   something like shared SYSUAF etc

   a database which can be open on all nodes---no failover, no standby, 
   no switching, just continuation of processing on the remaining nodes

   something like the distributed lock manager which applications can 
   use

Arguably, all of these (all of which have been in VMS for a long time) 
are essential for a "proper" cluster.
